Default Need tire/tire size recommendations!

Hey guys, I need a little help on tire sizes and what I should go with. My Work wheels are coming in soon and here are the sizes/specs I ordered them in:

18x8 +56
18x9.5 +62

What tire choices should I narrow it down to? What are the optimal tire sizes I should run, front and rear? Also, what is the max width I can go in the rear. My S is lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit's so it's not that low. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I think with the 18X9.5 you would be better to stay with the 255/35R18 on the rear and the 225/45R17 front. It will keep you in the same stagger as the stock set up with more tire on the ground.
As far as which tire it would depend on what you are looking for. If it is max performance take a look at the S03, Pilot PS2 and the Goodyear GSD3. These are the best we have tested. If you give up a little wet traction the Kumho MX would be a good choice at a better price.
If I can help let me know.
